About me
Hi, my name is Manuel Matuzović! I’m a frontend developer, consultant, accessibility auditor, writer, and speaker from Vienna, currently living in Graz. I’m a fan of web standards and a staunch believer in progressive enhancement, and I'm specialized in web accessibility and large-scale CSS.
Currently, I'm for hire and open to new opportunities. You can contact me via e-mail (manuel@matuzo.at).
On this page, you’ll find everything you need to know about me and my work.
Work
I’ve started my web development career in 2008 by working as a full-stack web developer in an ad agency. After two years, I became a freelancer and transitioned slowly from full-stack to specializing in web accessibility and CSS. This allowed me to not just take development jobs, but also audit websites and consult companies and institutions. I spent the past ~4 years working as a senior frontend developer for WHD and the City of Vienna.
Starting 2023, I'm going back to being a full-time freelancer again.
What I can offer
- Consulting (web accessibility and CSS layout/architecture)
- WCAG accessibility audits
- In-house or online workshops
- Frontend-end development (HTML, CSS, vanilla JS, web components)
- Authoring of accessibility statements
